Yeah, I know. And I am not sure whether this is the case, but I do not
think so. They *do* fix the MAC address of the cable modem though, but
that one is the same anyway.

Would love to test that, but it is a bit tricky. The NetBSD machine is
ISA-only, while the windows box has a PCI network card. What I have
tested is to use two different cards in the windows machine, they both
worked fine. So, I think I can exclude this problem.
Thanksi all; got enough to do some further testing.
